[Side note before I begin: WE FINALLY HAVE SNOW!!! I literally thought we were going to skip winter. And now winter has finally arrived!!!! Just when we had begun to think it would never get here. We have like 4-5 inches of snow which is super exciting! Anyway………on to the post!]

The Bible says:

“The word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” -Hebrews 4:12

“All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.” -2 Timothy 3:16-17

(Heads UP: this post features a lighthearted topic compared to my other posts 😉 ) I don't know about anyone else, but I absolutely LOVE salads.

God also tells us (recite it with me…although, it HAS been a while since I’ve written a post and included this verse ) in Proverbs 3:5-6 to trust Him…that means with our future, too.

“What are you going to do?”

This stopped my in my tracks. What was I going to do? “Lord,” I thought, “what do you mean? I’m young. I can’t do anything…”

However, He wasn’t content with my answer. He challenged me to really look at my flute and think about “what” I could do with it. I could have a career through it, take it on mission trips, play for others, give lessons. There were all these things I could do (I can do). And…
